Notes: A quite distinctive species within the subfamily Idiocerinae Overwintering specimen, tapped from Yew. My first record of this species, and probably a first for VC53. Previously known as Idiocerus ustulatus

There is no third, or I should say, I have made no syntax error, no third use of inverted commas. The anomaly appears in the source code, lines 31 - 32 as follows:

30. <meta name="description" content="Observation of Idiocerus ustulatus (Invertebrates). Over wintering specimen, tapped from Yew. My first record of this species, and probably a first for VC53.
31. What Dr Joe Botting had to say.
32. " />

To confirm my suspicion I will have to look at the source code for the ID box and location box where I have used a hperlink. Will keep you updated, unless you get there first.

Can you give the line numbers if they are not the same as mine. Regardless I will have another to see if I have missed any thing. I will also reiterate, that I have not used three sets of inverted commas. If it is as you then it has to be a syntax error, or an anomaly of some sort, nothing to do with me, for if it was then all my hyperlinks would be dumping stuff at the top of the page. Gona have a look at the source now, anon.

Line 172. <p>Over wintering specimen, tapped from Yew. My first record of this species, and probably a first for VC53.<br />
Line 173. What Dr Joe Botting had to <a href="//www.flickr.com/photos/24208033@N02/2317330978/">say</a>.</p>

No double quotation marks, using the conversion codes lines 172/3 read as I typed it in, apart from the opening <p> and the closing </p> which is added automactically. It's one for the iSpot techies to sort. I will and have stopped using hyperlinking in the description box.

Sorry I forgot to use the convert codes in my previous reply, they are as in my reply above your last reply.

Hyperlinks work in the comment box re. your experiment. They also work in the ID box, and Location info box. It is just the description box that has the problem. Try it in the latter, with what Joe had to say; remember you can always delete it. It will, or will not, prove my point. Please let me know how you get on.
